“Our investigators are saying they’ve spoken to everyone who came forward so far and they’ve got a fairly good idea there was someone else in the park that night who may or may not have seen something,” Noseworthy says.

The alleged murder occurred sometime between the evening of Aug. 25 and the early morning hours of Aug. 26.

“We have a very strong case against the three people arrested and charged,” Noseworthy says. “At this point we’re just trying to complete the idea of what happened throughout that night.”
